豆知識

Sinful Davey is a 1969 picaresque adventure/crime/comedy film directed by John Huston and starring John Hurt, Pamela Franklin, and, in an early appearance, Fionnula Flanagan. Huston's daughter Anjelica Huston appears uncredited as an extra.

Production

Director John Huston and producer Walter Mirisch clashed several times during and after the film's production, especially in regard to a musical score originally composed by John Barry, the casting of Huston's daughter Anjelica, and the final editing of the film. Critic David Sterrit describes the final product as "a box-office fiasco that nobody has particularly wanted to own.

The film is based on the autobiography of David Haggart titled The Life of David Haggart. The film, about a Scottish rogue, was filmed in Ireland, and much of the cast have Irish accents instead of the more accurate Scottish accent.

Four members of the film unit making the picture in County Wicklow crashed in their Cessna plane at Glenmalure in 1967. All the occupants of the plane were injured to some extent, but John O'Connor, the location manager, was the most seriously injured. Huston left the film location to visit the hospital and stopped the filming.
